Bodrum FK's head coach Volkan Demirel made striking statements after their 2-1 defeat against Beşiktaş away from home. Demirel said, "This is the first time I have seen the game being stopped and then going to VAR without a penalty being awarded. We need organization not only on the field but also off the field! Some will understand what I mean by this."

Bodrum FK's head coach Volkan Demirel made striking statements after the match in which they lost 2-1 to Beşiktaş away. Demirel reacted to referee Mehmet Türkmen over many details, especially the penalty situation that overshadowed the match.

PENALTY COMMENTS: I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE

Speaking about the penalty situation that marked the match in the 63rd minute, Demirel said, "I am seeing for the first time that the game is stopped and then VAR is consulted, but no penalty is given."

"THIS REQUIRES SKILL"

Evaluating the match, the 43-year-old coach stated, "There is nothing to say. The kids fought well. We have been in the penalty area 42 times; it was the same in the Trabzon match. We create chances, but this job requires a bit more skill and quality," he expressed.

"SOME WILL UNDERSTAND"

Speaking about the referee, Demirel said, "I want to open a parenthesis about the referee. Today, there were 2-3 situations with Seferi, Taylan... We are seeing for the first time that the game is stopped and no penalty is given. We need organization both on and off the field! Some will understand what I mean by this. We will continue to fight both inside and outside," he added.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Taylan Antalyalı from Bodrum FK fell in the penalty area due to the intervention of Felix Uduokhai. After the position, referee Mehmet Türkmen stopped the game following a VAR review warning in the 65th minute and went to VAR to examine the situation. After reviewing, Türkmen ruled that it was not a penalty. Although Bodrum FK players protested to referee Türkmen after the incident, the match continued from where it left off.
